Are you aware of any design changes in the Hydra-Shok's in the past six years? The data may be old, but the facts only change if the design does as well. ?txinvestigator wrote: That is not an FBI test, and your data is SIX years old.
So "best" depends upon yuour interpretation. I know hydras are not bonded, and I am fine with that.
They are different, not worse or better.
If you want to go Federal, I would stick to the Hi-Shok Tacticals. Rangers, Gold Dots, Bonded Golden Sabers are all good.
